“This is crazy! You’ve got to be kidding me!” Ethan said, slicing his gaze to Lucas who angled his head downwards. Tears bubbling in his chest at the thought of the weird message.
Lucas heard Adriano exhaled heavily and he waited for Ethan to rasp out his thoughts but they both stilled, eyes fixed on him.
They have been close friends for years now and it grieves them to see their pal passing through such things. Worst of all, they can’t do anything to help out in this case considering it’s a family business.
Adriano scrunched up his lips and rested his hand on Lucas’s shoulder, sighing.
“I don’t know what that shitty message is referring to bud, but I think you should venture into something else. Maybe start up a new company or something…”
Lucas didn’t let him finish before countering his words.
“This is my father’s sweat we are talking about. My father!” Lucas routed, shuffling his eyes between Adriano and Ethan.
They understand his notion after all they both are handling their family’s legacy. So telling Lucas to quit everything and start up another company which you don’t know the potentials will be a hard nut to crack.
Most of all, people who already knows that his company folded because of some shitty reasons will doubt the prospects of a new company.
People will hardly patronize him, no angel investors nor shareholders would love to mingle with him after knowing how his family company faded.
It’s a bad reputation and that’s one of the reasons Lucas is so worked up about this.
He’ll not only go broke but his reputation will be at stake too.
“Starting up another shitty company will mar my reputation you both know that. I can’t bring myself to face such shame.” He murmured, rubbing his finger on the corners of his parted lips.
“I just…I wish I could pull things back together as it was when my parents were alive. Do you know how this fucking makes me feel?” Lucas nagged, voice slightly above a whisper. He could feel rumbles of guilt in his stomach.
He feels totally worthless. His friends sealed their lips shut, watching him raking his hands through his hair like a lost sheep.
Ethan bite down on his lower lip, trying to contain the balls of emotion roving his heart and Adriano kept running his hand through his dark hair.
He gripped his glass of Whiskey and gulped down the remaining contents in it.
“Shit! I fucking don’t know what to say bud. I’m fucking lost as you’re. I know I’m fucking gonna feel…worthless if ever I find myself in this shitty condition.” Adriano routed, grinding his teeth.
“It’s horrible man…” was all Ethan could spew, narrowing his eyes at Lucas.
Lucas leaned his head aside and chuckled. “I guess I don’t have to chicken out in my responsibility in fulfiling the contract.” He said and cocked his brow.
“What do you mean…wait! You want to give in to Danika Woods be her…man for real?” Adriano babbled. He slapped Lucas’s shoulder, making him astonished .
“Man you never loved that bitch…”
“I never love her but that bitch and her mother are the fucking people that can help out my ass. So what’s there except obeying them and shit!?” Lucas ventured, blowing out a bundle of heavy breath.
“But…how about the Monson group? No news from them yet?” Ethan asked.
Lucas leaned his head backward, frustrated.
He was overly confident about gaining the contract with the Monson group before but now…his confidence hangs on a thread.
He doubts that the widow will agree to his request. He doesn’t even know is for chrissake!
“Nothing from that side. I fucking doubt I’d ever get the contract again.” Lucas said absentmindedly.
“Why don’t you go visit the company? You never know you might bump into the widow and have a fucking word with her and get some hopes in your sleeve.” Ethan suggested with a shrug.
Lucas pinched his chin, contemplating on Ethan’s suggestion.
All the while, it never occurred to him he should visit the company but now he’s beginning to consider it.
He glided his tongue on his lips, looking at it you could see the saliva that coats on it, making it tantalizing.
“Maybe I could try that. Well, since it’s not fucking certain, Danika Wood is still my shoulders to lean on.” He said, wagging his brow.
Hearing Lucas final response, Adriano and Ethan resigned. The trio began chugging their alcohol. However, Adriano picked up girls who seemed to be strippers and flank his sides, relishing their sensual touch and kisses on his skin.
Ethan gave no fuck about Adriano acts, they’re already used to it and Lucas kept on rejecting the another stripper that’s aiming for his attention.
“Bud, c’mon enjoy yourself. Rid off some of your worries man!” Lucas heard Adriano’s strangled words.
He traveled his eyes down and saw both strippers sitting beside Adriano sucking his cock.
Lucas scoffed, shaking his head.
“Wow… I like your dick…it’s so huge!” One of the strippers murmured to Adriano’s hearing and he responded complacently.
“I’ve huge package, ladies. Enjoy to the brim…c’mon don’t stop now, suck the goodies…” He erupted into a fit of giggles. Throwing his head backwards, Adriano let out a piercing moan.
You can see his chest rising up and down as he basked in the pleasure the ladies assaulted him with.
“Woah buds…Estrella is calling me already. I guess it’s time to…you know go home!” Ethan said, straightening from his seat.
“You…want to leave, buddy? Why don’t you enjoy like…myself…shit!! These ladies wanna kill me!” Adriano blurted, rolling his eyes heavenward.
Ethan smirked, “no thanks, I’ll pass.”
As he was about to leave, Lucas stopped him and ventured.
“I guess I’ll be leaving with you, Ethan.” He said slapping the stripper’s hand away from his lap. He stood up and slightly adjusted his rumpled shirt.
Adriano glanced up at them and chuckled in between pleasure. He looked at the ladies as they both kissed themselves with his dick placed on the rim of their lips.
“You’ve got to leave without me. I need to relish in this wonders buds.” He said, eyes rolling and mouth left ajar as strangled moans fly past it.
“Yeah…right. Enjoy man.” Lucas and Ethan said unanimously.
They both pranced out and entered Ethan’s car who dropped Lucas in his house moments later.
Too tired to talk, Lucas clenched out from the car and bid goodbye to Ethan before he drove off.
When he inched closer to the gate, Lucas pressed on the bell. It’s almost midnight and the neighborhood has gone quitet.
No single soul could be seen outside but Lucas was so drunk to even care about that.
He heard someone rustling on the gate to flap it open and before he could suck in another breath of air, Mike flung the door open.
Scratching his sleepy eyes, Mike yawned before looking up to the drunken Lucas.
“Oh, boss…good evening…oh I mean morning. Please come in.”
Lucas didn’t sprinkle a word from his lips as he paced into the house. There are kinds of drunken people and Lucas ain’t the type that talks much when drunk.
He scrambled into the house and was greeted by darkness in the living room.
As he advanced towards the stairs, his eyes flay at the hallway leading to the kitchen where a tinge of light shone, displaying a silhouette.
Narrowing his eyes to ensure he saw clearly, Lucas asked.
“Who’s there!?” His voice echoed in the pin drop silent building.
Lucas saw the silhouette edge closer to him and he stood there unfazed.
“Where have you been?” Danika’s voice filled his ears.
Lucas heaved a sigh and focused on trailing the stairs, ignoring her question.
“I’m asking you Lucas, where were you?” She said again, following him from behind until they arrived in Lucas’s room.
“Lucas…”
She called but instantly got interrupted.
“I’m not the mood, Danika…can we please talk tomorrow?” He said, calmly.
He can’t lose his cool now he needs Danika the most.
“Not until you tell me why you reek of alcohol!” Danika sternly demanded.
“That’s because I went to booze and get some shits outta my head. Satisfied?” He asked.
Lucas completely forgot not to take off his pants while Danika was still around. The moment his pants glided down , leaving him on his briefs Danika sighted his cock threatening to poke out from his briefs.
Seeing that rudely awakened her desires. She took a long breath and stepped away from the door, slamming it shut.
“Are you worried about your company?” She asked trailing her eyes down Lucas’s groin.
Absentmindedly, Lucas replied, “that’s none of your business.”
Stuffing his pants and shirt in the laundry bag, he turned and attempted to head into the washroom when Danika blocked his way.
Glancing up at him, she sugarcoated her voice.
“You know you don’t necessarily have to worry because I’m here for you, hun. You have me, so you shouldn’t drown in thoughts. It won’t help a thing.” She mouthed, trailing her finger on his lips and chin.
Lucas made to inch his head way but Danika did the worst. She perched her hand on his cock and cupped it, hard.
That touch made Lucas flinch, he felt a bolt of arousal wash through him.
“No…Danika. I don’t want this now. It’s not the right…” Before he could proceed further with his words, Danika smashed her lips on his. Savoring the alcohol on his lips.
She could feel her nipples tightening as the need grew deep in her, her clit throbbed.
Lucas lifted his hand and nestled it on the side of her cheeks, deepening the kiss.
He doesn’t want to lose Danika’s help now. So he wants to play it smart so as to draw her trust.
He plodded his hand to her chest, reaching her left boob, he cupped it and kneaded it gently.
Danika whimpered at the sweetness of his hand on her atop her breast.
As she reclined to savor the moment, Lucas withdrew from the kiss, his hand still buried atop her breast.
“I’m weak now, Danika…could please let me rest for a while?” He pleaded, not wanting to trigger her anger.
Twiddling her hair back, frustrated. Danika nodded, swallowing thickly.
She wants to gain Lucas’s love as much as she wants to dominate him, she can’t gain his affection by being obstinate always. So she allowed him Scott free.
Then Lucas beamed and snaked into the washroom.
